I feel I must add my condolences to the talented people being laid off from WotC. Your contributions will be sorely missed.
I also must say I feel a bit concerned with the loss of these people, who for me, have been the faces and voices of Wizards.
Those who love D&D like what they like, as seen by many of the impassioned and emotional threads that have appeared on this board.
And we liked these people!
These are the people that created 4e, an edition that I and many others have grown to love...
This makes me wonder how solvent Wizards is, that they can afford to let go some of their most visual and well-known talent. I mean, wasn't 4e supposed to be doing awesome fiscally??
Makes me wonder at the future of D&D.
